Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel

Durable and strong

Tekota’s legacy of durability continues with the fully redesigned
Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel. Vast
improvements have been made, including Coreprotect water resist to
increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens
(LC models), loud clicker and new ergonomic S-Compact body
design.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body
stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing.
The result transfrorms your actions directly into cranking power.
It’s efficiency through strength.

S-ARB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB
bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that
reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s
rotation.

CoreProtect
Total protection. The concept of CoreProtect is simple – to provide
water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There
are three key ares of the reel that require protection: the roller
clutch, body, and line roller.

Cross Carbon Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along
with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
